Hypertension and cardiovascular disease remain leading causes of morbidity worldwide — and dietary habits lie at the heart of both prevention and control. From salt sensitivity to hidden fats and the role of micronutrients, every meal choice can shift the trajectory of cardiovascular risk.

In this session on “Dietary Management of Hypertension & Cardiovascular Risk,” Dr. Zubeda Tumbi (PhD in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics) will unpack the science and strategy behind heart-healthy nutrition. Through evidence-based insights and practical examples, she will explore how clinicians can translate dietary guidelines into real-world patient advice - from DASH principles and sodium moderation to improving adherence in the Indian context. This talk aims to bridge nutrition science with everyday clinical care, empowering practitioners to make diet a cornerstone of cardiovascular risk reduction.
